In the MLS championship, Miami's Inter team defeated Orlando City 4:2, with their leader Lionel Messi scoring two goals.

One of them was a stunning free kick.

After the match, it was calculated that the world champion began to aim for the title of the best free kick taker of all time.

This was his 70th such goal in the veteran's career, and he is now just a few steps away from the all-time record holders' trio.

L. Messi trails behind three Brazilians - Juninho (72), Roberto Dinamite (75), and Marcelinho Carioca (78).
